There is nothing a Politician will not shell out money for

 "It’s also bizarre to see conservatives on the side of big banks and the federal government. Why is it always “you took out a loan, so pay it back” and never “you loaned out money to an 18-year-old who wants a gender studies degree; you’re an idiot”?" Josiah Lippincott

A Sane Solution to the Student Debt Crisis › American Greatness  . . ."Many have rightly pointed out that student loan forgiveness is unconstitutional, which is true. But it was unconstitutional for the federal government to loan out that money in the first place. There is no provision in our founding documents that says the feds are supposed to subsidize higher education for the whole population.

"Indeed, it was the federal government pouring money into the university system that caused the price of college to skyrocket to such absurd levels. From 1963 until now, the price of a college education has tripled, after adjusting for inflation. Meanwhile, the inflation-adjusted starting salary for college graduates has remained flat at around $55,000 per year." . . .

Forgive loans! Support Hamas! When do we want it? NOW!

Biden’s student loan forgiveness is just classic vote-buying, with taxpayer dollars – Orange County Register (ocregister.com)   . . ."Biden’s hoping for “breathing room,” all right — but more for himself and his party than for those student borrowers.

"Borrowers aren’t unimportant, of course. But Biden isn’t really looking at 153,000 borrowers. He’s looking at 153,000 VOTERS.

"Plus a previous 3.9 million.

"Plus all of those voters’ parents, spouses, children, and other loved ones who probably like the reduced monthly hit on their household incomes.

"Like previous rounds, this latest write-off is a $1.2 billion campaign expenditure, one that doesn’t have to come out of the Biden campaign’s $56 million in cash reserves, or be raised with  donation drives.

"Those of us who don’t have student loan balances hanging over our heads might not like it that much, but we probably won’t remember, remember on the 5th of November quite as bitterly as the beneficiaries will fondly.

"And before we get temporarily outraged, it’s probably worth considering how OUR votes are bought.

"They’re bought with “stimulus” checks." . . .

Biden’s lies on top of lies on top of lies

 - Victor Davis Hanson - Whatfinger News Summary   "Biden’s lies on top of lies on top of lies. In the last week, Joe Biden had flat-out lied in the most egregious fashion in so many ways. In his disastrous press conference of last week, he claimed that special counsel Hur’s report exonerated him. Anyone who read the findings concluded exactly the opposite. According to Hur, Biden would have been indicted for his willfully unlawful removal of classified documents except for two reasons: one, the Department of Justice protocols apparently prohibit indicting a sitting president; and two, Biden suffers such cognitive decline that the special counsel believes a jury would more likely pity him into acquittal than convict him of what he is certainly guilty. He lied that Hur brought up his son’s death (“How in the hell dare he raise that?”)."

"In fact, Biden as is his serial wont, raised it, and does on a regular basis, usually deliberately and further lying that his son died while on military duty in Iraq (he died six years subsequently as a civilian in Walter Reed Hospital), and always contorting the death to enhance his own greater sense of grieving. He lied that he notified authorities when he discovered that he unlawfully had taken out classified documents to various residencies (perhaps for over some 30 plus years during his senatorial and Vice Presidential tenures). In fact, Biden only admitted that he had apparently for decades unlawfully removed classified files in 2017, to his ghostwriter in a recorded tape, and then he hid that fact and kept quiet for five years—until his administration’s special counsel began to investigate Trump for the same thing. Note the worried ghostwriter erased the tape of Biden’s confession as soon as he learned there was an appointment of a special counsel. (Destroy evidence much?) He lied that the files bore no classification marks.

"In fact, they did and do. He lied that he kept the files safe in a secure location. In fact, the special counsel report includes several photographs of the Biden garage, in which there were sloppily stored, open, and torn boxes of classified documents amid a complete mess of junk. He lied that Trump’s once secure border is somehow responsible for Biden’s intentionally open border. He just lied that Trump caused the 2022 Putin invasion of Ukraine on Biden’s watch that never occurred on Trump’s. It is not enough that the Biden team must wildly lie daily that the non-compos-mentis President is dynamic, impressive in his recall and cognition, and stands out as the most astute mind in most of this meetings. Well apart from his cognitive decline, Biden himself is a pathological prevaricator.  – Victor Davis Hanson

. . ." But back to Behar's comments about how when Biden wasn't nervous he didn't stutter and the age question supposedly disappeared. The problem with that is the presidency is a highly stressful job at all times and requires someone who can think quickly on their feet and not constantly get tripped up on (and forgetful of) their own words and actions. Further, it's not just the American people who are watching but leaders from around the world who are gauging the strengths and weaknesses of a president." . . .

Airman Who Set Himself On Fire Was Anarchist Who Spied On Americans For NSA

  Armed Forces Press   "Aaron Bushnell was in the 531st Intelligence Squadron which provided NSA support to the Department of Homeland Security. This disturbed youth was looking through your emails and social media"

"Aaron was confused and apparently one more mushhead created by the conveyor belt of pop culture, perhaps TikTok, and indoctrination in the current U.S. Military. He was an anarchist and held strong anti-Israel, anti-Jewish viewpoints. Media has taken a swipe and an attempt to obfuscate his anarchist views by saying he was part of a Christian cult. Chaff and flares are being deployed to distract from what was going through this mushhead’s brain.

"Much of this has been reported.

"What has not been reported; Aaron also held some of the highest security clearances in his Air Force role of the uniformed element of the National Security Agency.

"Like Reality Winner (yes that was her name) we have one more psychopath who made it through the vetting for the highest levels of security clearances." . . .

"Sigmund Freud always took a somewhat jaundiced view of the human psyche, but in the wake of the horrors of World War I, it turned even darker. Confronted with mankind’s capacity to destroy itself, Freud concluded that within every living thing, there is a drive towards senescence and homeostasis—a state in which things do not change. The ultimate form of such a state, of course, is death. Thus, Freud believed, all life contains within it the seed of its own destruction and dissolution—a death drive.

"But Freud understood that this was not simply a desire for stasis. In 1932, he wrote to Albert Einstein, “According to our hypothesis human instincts are of only two kinds: those which seek to preserve and unite … and those which seek to destroy and kill and which we group together as the aggressive or destructive instinct.”

"These instincts are not always opposed, however. Freud asserted that “an instinct of the one sort can scarcely ever operate in isolation; it is always accompanied—or, as we say, alloyed—with a certain quota from the other side, which modifies its aim or is, in some cases, what enables it to achieve that aim.”

"In the unity of sex and death, Freud implied, there comes a point at which the death drive becomes a desire for the orgasmic destruction of oneself and others. Sex enables death and vice-versa.

"All of this came to mind when I read that a man named Aaron Bushnell had committed suicide by setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington while shrieking, “Free Palestine.' ” . . .

"The church, however, has a darker side, at least according to a lawsuit in Canada brought by former students of a now-closed Ontario school where many officials were alleged to be members of the US-based religious group, according to the Post.

"Those officials, the students said, ran a “charismatic sect” that “created an environment of control, intimidation and humiliation that fostered and inflicted enduring harms on its students”." . . .

"Gaslighting" in its purest form: AP: Laken Riley’s murder highlights the ‘danger’ of running alone as a female -

. . .“The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes” which are… uncivilized third-world barbarians pouring into the United States because they’ve been invited by Democrats, set loose by Democrats, handed pre-loaded debit cards by Democrats, and shielded from prosecution by Democrats."

 Olivia Murray - American Thinker   "This was a masterclass in gaslighting.

"Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered this past Thursday while on a jog around a Georgia university campus. The suspect, Jose Antonio Ibarra, is an illegal alien who’s been gaming the system since he crossed our border in 2022 with Joe Biden’s blessing—so naturally, the tragedy is a condemnation of the Bidenites and their pro-crime policies.

"Yet, here’s how Associated Press framed the story:"

 The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes https://t.co/RYCpB53JmJ

— The Associated Press (@AP) February 25, 2024

. . . "So the AP wants to bring awareness to the “dangers” that female athletes face—does that mean I should soon expect reports on the dangers of mentally-ill males who get a pass to compete in female sports? Is AP going to be a voice for those females who have suffered severe injuries, concussions, and losses to physically-dominant males? I seriously doubt it.

"Aside from the nearly unbelievable example of gaslighting this article was, it points to another angle which we ought to consider, and that is how obsolete the AP really is. A news agency spreading fake news and acting as an propaganda apparatus for a regime is bad enough, but the very mission of the AP was, originally, to combat the suffocating costs of global news delivery. Yet, with the internet, that’s no longer an issue, and the AP has no legitimate purpose to continue its operations; now, it crushes competitive journalism and independent media, and, as evidenced by Har’s reporting on Riley’s murder, we see again how it’s a hub of disinformation, disseminating false narratives out to the masses via its spokes."

"This Will Be The Nastiest, Dirtiest, Scariest Election In Our History" - Victor Davis Hanson

 @Lovemycoffee10 1 day ago (edited)  "When Victor Davis Hanson speaks, everyone listens ... he's Brilliant & quite accurate on many important & urgent issues affecting the U.S. I prefer listening to VDH then any news media. God Bless this man for speaking the TRUTH, God help us in the U.S."

Comments to this video:   "Trump should hire Hanson as a special advisor to help him keep the eye on the ball through all the craziness that will ensue."

"Remember, what happened in Israel did not happen on October 7, 2023. It happened in Gaza in 2006, 2007, 2008…. …and every year all the way up to October 7. The tunnels, the massive terrorist infrastructure, hospitals and their staff, Mosques and their leaders, schools and their teachers, aid workers, private homes lived in by private citizens, all who participated and kept secret everything in preparation for a massacre of Jews. The substantial diversion of national income and International aid was known. Who did not know, when it’s happening in and around and under them? They kept it mum. What small fraction of Gazans were ignorant and innocent?"

"It isn’t just a matter of the binary choice of THIIS election. Despite the fact that Trump’s style was off putting to many voters on both sides and that hasn’t changed, the actual reality of what he did during his term was very successful at least in the view of the average voter. They were a lot better off when he was in office. Beside that opinion, which was likely partly aided by a long break from mean tweets after he left office, the legal pursuit of him has, in some sense backfired on the left. He is perceived now as a victim of persecution and that is helping him, not the reverse."

Nikki Haley Refuses to Drop Out of Presidential Race Despite Landslide Loss in Her Home State

Haley Faces Even Steeper Odds Beyond South Carolina Primary | The New York Sun  "With the South Carolina primary Saturday and Ambassador Nikki Haley vowing to stay in the race beyond that vote, it looks like the road after South Carolina might be even more unfavorable for the former governor.

"The most recent polling on South Carolina from Suffolk University and USA Today shows Ms. Haley trailing President Trump 35 percent to 63 percent in her home state, meaning that even if Ms. Haley outperforms expectations, she’s still likely to lose in a state where she served as governor.

"On Tuesday, Ms. Haley struck a defiant tone at an event in South Carolina, saying that she would campaign “until the last person votes” and pointing out that after Saturday, only four states will have voted." . . .

Trump haters spin Nikki Haley’s SC loss as a victory, but her backers know the truth - Andrea Widburg   . . ."Gavin Newsom, the smarmy, hard-left, but not stupid California governor, certainly views Haley as a Democrat asset:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Friday that GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley is among his party’s best surrogates on the campaign trail, as she seeks to take down former President Trump in the Republican primary.

“I think she’s one of our better surrogates, so I hope she stays in. I hope she does well tomorrow — at least, well enough,” Newsom said, referring to the GOP South Carolina primary, after CNN’s Jake Tapper asked whether Haley or Trump had a better chance against President Biden in November.

Newsom, a staunch supporter of Biden, added that he agreed with most of the attacks Haley has made on the former president.

“I think she’s spot on, on 99 percent of it,” he said. “So, I’m enjoying this primary. And I hope it continues, so I wish her luck.”

"For now, Republicans are stuck with Haley. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality we’re in."

Big Ugly Shift - Koch Network Drops Haley Support, Retreats to Senate Decepticon Alamo    . . ."As a candidate Nikki Haley has always represented the effort of the corporate republican establishment. The corporate republican network who thrives on the status quo have used Ron DeSantis and then Nikki Haley in their effort to rid themselves of the problem represented by Trump and the MAGA base of economically minded voters and supporters. However, both efforts have failed against the scale of the MAGA movement.  MAGA is the Republican party now, and the corporate republican world has been dragged to the inflection point. " . . .

"In every primary thus far, President Trump has broken previous historical records and won more votes than ever before: In both Iowa and Nevada, he set the records for the highest vote totals ever received by the winner of the Republican caucuses in those states. In the cases of New Hampshire and South Carolina, he broke the records for the highest vote totals received by the winner of any presidential primary in those states, from either party. The previous record-high in South Carolina was George W. Bush’s 300,000 in 2000; President Trump received over 450,000 votes in Saturday’s primary.

"The next contest in the Republican primary season is Michigan, which votes on Tuesday. Polls overwhelmingly project that President Trump will win a landslide in the state, which was crucial to his victory in 2016 and is still seen as crucial to any path to the presidency in November. The next primaries will be in Idaho, Missouri, Washington D.C., and North Dakota, before the highly-anticipated Super Tuesday contests on March 5th, where 15 states will cast their votes.". . .
